Flavia de Luce, an 11-year-old English bicycle riding detective, pedals her way throughout the 1950s English countryside to unravel, when the Scotland Yard can’t, the murder mystery which began with the discovery of a rare lost stamp positioned on the beak of a dead black bird. For readers who loved The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, a debut novel, provides a fast, fun, can’t-put-down very British read, which will thrill and delight, all the while propelling the reader into the intriguing world of stamp collecting. Stay tuned for the continuing series highlighting this precocious, winsome juvenile Sherlock Holmes!
